Django Actress: Cops Cuffed Me for Kissing White BF

(NEWSER) – Django Unchained actress Daniele Watts says she was accosted, handcuffed, and detained by LAPD officers last week—all for kissing her white partner in a car. Watts, who played Coco in the Quentin Tarantino movie and has also appeared in Weeds and Partners, says she was handcuffed for "refusing to agree that I had done something wrong by showing affection, fully clothed, in a public place," the Guardian reports.

Boyfriend Brian James Lucas, a TV chef, says in a Facebook post that it was obvious from the questions he was asked that the cops had seen a tattooed "white boy and a hot bootie shorted black girl" and thought it was a prostitute and client.
